All requests must come from a GBC full member club or a national or international-level athlete, coach or judge registered with GBC as an independent member. Multiple requests can be made with one application.

Permission to travel outside of British Columbia will only be granted to clubs and/or groups who are members in good standing and all traveling participants must be members in good standing with GBC in order to be covered by GBC insurance.

Deadlines and sanction fees

Applications received less than 30 days prior to departure may not be approved.

Sanction fees (once request approved by Gymnastics BC):
